William J. a cripple conMorrison, sixty-eighfined to a wheel chair for the last twenty-seve- n years, is a master craftsman. wood Morrison, who was a blacksmith until he was stricken with infantile paralysis, has produced fine pieces of furniture with only a few simple tools and a vise. He has no power tools. He built a model house, complete in every detail. The interior is furnished with electric lights, beds, machine, kitchen ' sink, sewing dishes and bathroom fixtures, including a bath mat and soap. A miniature man and woman sit be- fore a fireplace. Morrison used pine for the house, which he values at $300, and black cherry and oak for the furniture. They were very much in love, but there came a day when they had a bitter quarrel and parted, each resolving never to see the other again.

It shuttles back and forth beneath the Capitol and the senate office building, carrying senators from office to oratory without exposure tcf traffic or weather hazards. In Liverpool, Newark, Rochester, and Athens the street railways lead a Dr. Jekyll-MHyde existence, going underground for only part of their career. London blazed the subway trail, with an underground steam railway in the 1860s. Glasgow, Scotland, followed suit in 1896. Berlin, another pioneer, now has over 40 miles of subway. Instead of separate cars for different classes of passengers, as in part of Londons underground system, it makes a distinction only between smokers and with red cars for the former and yellow coaches for the latter. Some of its subway stations, such as the Alexander-Platwith its pictures in tile of old Berlin, are three stories high, and serve the elevated railway as well. Paris has an even larger system, spreading an underground spiderweb beneath the citys foundation, with 296 stations. In contrast to New Yorks simple entrances, the subways of Paris require tickets for first and second-clas- s travel. The subway has even reached Asia, for Japan now uses this rapid transit solution for two of her rapidly growing cities, Tokyo and Osaka. Moscow a Newcomer. A newcomer to the subway circuit is Moscow, with thirteen stations on three routes radiating from the Okhotny Ryad station in the center of the new business and hotel section.

The marble stations are free of advertising, and mechanical ventilation and unusually lofty ceilings 15 to 20 feet high instead of the more usual 10 give an impression of airiness. Subways are an old story in the New World, for Boston has had one since the beginning of this century. Philadelphias narrow streets made that city also dig deep for a solution to its traffic problem. The subway city par excellence, of course, is New York, where miles of track are counted not by fives and tens but by the hundreds, and a nickel buys more underground travel than anywhere else in the world. In some spots, routes were blasted through solid rock without disturbing tall buildings on the surface. Farthest SQuth subway is that of Buenos Aires. Three systems connect the central business district with the outlying suburbs of Palermo, and Saavedra. The tunnel of one is large enough for regular railroad trains. sub-surfa- ce Bel-gran- o, Toledo Gets Priceless Madonna to San Francisco v V.

Many Subway Systems. About seventeen cities in the world have subway systems, with underground tracks, stations, and appropriate cars or trains. Four others have underground sections in their street railways, where surface cars go undercover for several stations, then emerge farther on. A great many more street railway systems employ underground passages where track and train dip below the surface to avoid a hill or a congested area, as in Pittsburgh and in Los Angeles, and at the Kobe end of the line between Japans metropolis of Osaka and its port Kobe. Chicago has a subway for freight but none for passengers. J UTAH AND ITS THE HOTEL BEN LOMOND Ogdens Finest . .
